The global seroprevalence of latent toxoplasmosis is estimated to be higher than 30%. The presence of slowly dividing parasites in tissue cysts located mainly in immunoprivileged organs was long considered asymptomatic. Recently, many studies have shown that latent Toxoplasma infections could have serious impacts on human health. Here we ran a cross-sectional study in a population of 1486 volun...

PURPOSE Histomorphometry and microhardness measurements were performed after Ti6AI4V implantation in cancellous and cortical bone of healthy and ovariectomized animals to determine characterization of the bone-biomaterial interface in osteopenic bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine ovariectomized and 9 sham-aged rats were used. Four months later, nails were implanted in the distal femurs, and the...

KPD 0005+5106, with an effective temperature of $\simeq$200,000 K, is one the hottest white dwarfs (WDs). ROSAT unexpectedly detected "hard" ($\sim$1 keV) X-rays from this apparently single WD. We have obtained Chandra observations that confirm spatial coincidence hard X-ray source 0005+5106. also XMM-Newton as well PG 1159$-$035 and WD 0121$-$756, which are whose were by at 3$\sigma$-4$\sigma$...

The authors introduce a consistency-based approach to detecting examiner bias. On comparing intra-class correlation coefficients on transformed data for supervisor continuous performance and report marks (ICC1*) with those for supervisor continuous performance and second marker report marks (ICC2*), a highly significant difference was obtained for both the entire cohort (ICC1* = .72, ICC2* = .3...
